Temporarily disable email

Is there a way to temporarily disable all outgoing mail ?

I am aware of the log to file but will it still attempt to send mail with that set up ? :confused: , I do need that as I want to check the mails being sent correctly etc, without actually sending it.

XF and IPB both have a config variable you can set to prevent outbound mail going (just logs to a file instead) for testing / debug purposes. Does VB4 have anything similar ? , I guess I just need to add a line somewhere or enable something in a configuration file.

You can define DISABLE_MAIL in config.php to have it logged to a file. Here's the comment from class_mail.php:

Code:

/**

 * Send the mail.

 * Note: If you define DISABLE_MAIL in config.php as:

 *         delimited email addresses        - Only mail for the recipients will be sent

 *        <filename>.log                                - Mail will be logged to the given file if writable

 *  any other value                                - Mail will be disabled

If you run a mail test from the admincp, I believe (based on a look at the code) that it will be sent even if you've defined DISABLE_EMAIL.

Thank you. :) Just to clarify this is what you meant (in config.php) ?

Code:

$config['disable_mail'] = 1;

My testboard is at 3.8 so I guess its the same for 3.x and 4.x

I think what it actually means is:

Code:

define('DISABLE_MAIL', 1);

Sorry, I should have included that in my post.
